Working remotely from Triangle

I've been here for 10 years and Median household income is $114,837, which feels pretty solid for the area. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've lived in North for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Close to major attractions
- The public transit scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 10 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
